We Have a Winner!

We have a winner! The contest for Chantal Kreviazuk’s newest CD, “Plain Jane,” is now officially over!

Chantal Kreviazuk Giveaway!

I don’t do giveaways very often on Cootiehog, but this one is too good for you to pass up! I’ve been a fan of Chantal Kreviazuk as far back as 2005, and she’s releasing her latest album, “Plain Jane,” in October. Isn’t that album name so appropriate for a giveaway here on Cootiehog?? Anyway, anyone [...]

The Quintessential Breakup Song

This morning as I took CG to school a local radio station was involved in a Battle of the DJs of sorts. Two morning personalities had been tasked with making the perfect breakup mixtape. The requirement was that it be an “it’s over – I don’t want you to come near me ever again” tape, [...]
